Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling:

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup blueberry jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the blueberry jam. Gently swirl the mixture to create a marbled effect.
  6. Form and Fill the Cookies:
    • Scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
    • Use your thumb to create an indentation in each cookie.
    • Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese and blueberry swirl mixture into each indentation.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    • Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality blueberry jam.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • For a tangier filling, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
